As shown in FIG. 6, a second restriction section 223 is disposed on the inner wall face of one of the side boards (such as the second side board 22). When the tool 60D is received in the receiving space 24 or folded out, the second restriction section 223 serves to stop and locate the tool 60D.
The foldable tool kit 10 of the present invention further includes a valve connector 70 and a chain breaker tool 80. The valve connector 70 has a first valve adaptation section 72 and a second valve adaptation section 74. The two valve adaptation sections have the form of a fitting hole. The second valve adaptation section 74 can be fitted and connected with a high-pressure air steel cylinder. The first valve adaptation section 72 can be fitted and connected with a valve of a tire, whereby the air in the steel cylinder can flow into the tire to inflate the tire. When received, the first valve adaptation section 72 of the valve connector 70 is fitted and connected with the free end of any of the aforesaid tools. In this embodiment, the valve connector 70 is fitted and connected with the operation end of a hexagonal wrench head 60C and received in the main body 20, whereby the valve connector 70 can be carried and used with the tool kit 10.
The chain breaker tool 80 includes a chain breaker main body 81 and a push rod 86. The push rod 86 is screwed in a threaded hole formed on one side of the chain breaker main body 81 and can be screwed into or out of a chain breaking space 82 at one end of the main body 81. The chain breaking space 82 is for a chain to place in and pertains to prior art and thus will not be further described hereinafter. A holding section 84 outward extends from the main body 81 for a user to hold. A mavic wrench 85 with a special configuration is disposed on the holding section 84 for rotating the spoke or a specific section. A pivoted section 87 is disposed at one end of the push rod 86 for pivotally connecting the chain breaker tool 80 with a shaft rod 23, whereby the tool 80 also becomes a foldable tool, which can be inward rotated and received in the receiving space 24 or outward folded for use.
Please now refer to FIGS. 5 and 8. In this embodiment, there are two tire reparation members 90, which are tire reparation strips for a user to fill the puncture of the tire and repair the broken tire. The two tire reparation members 90 are received in the first chamber 25 of the first side board 21.
Please now refer to FIGS. 5 and 7. In this embodiment, the foldable tool kit 10 includes two chain connectors 100. A pin 104 and a latch hole 106 are respectively disposed at two ends of the chain plate 102 of each chain connector 100. The two chain connectors 100 are received in the second chamber 26 of the second side board 22. The pin 104 of one end of each chain connector 100 can be separably inserted into an insertion hole 27 as shown in FIG. 9. The latch hole 106 of the other end can be separably fitted with a latch boss 28 as shown in FIG. 7. Accordingly, the two chain connectors 100 can be securely located in the second chamber 26. The chain connectors 100 are relatively small components so that it often takes place that the chain connectors 100 drop or miss due to the random placing of a user. In this case, the user can hardly find the chain connectors 100 when assembling the components. However, in the invention, the chain connectors 100 can be received in the tool kit 10 to enhance the diversity and convenience of the tool kit 10 and it is easy for a user to find and use and receive the chain connectors.
Please now refer to FIGS. 1, 5 and 9. A first outer cover 110 is detachably disposed on the outer wall face of the first sideboard 21 to cover the first chamber 25, whereby the two tire reparation members 90 are prevented from dropping out of the first chamber 25. A second outer cover 112 is detachably disposed on the outer wall face of the second side board 22 to cover the second chamber 26, whereby the two chain connectors 100 further are prevented from dropping out of the second chamber 26.
In use of the foldable tool kit 10 of the present invention, the foldable tools 60 can be used to adjust and repair the components of the bicycle, such as the bicycle frame, the flywheel, the transmission and the spokes. In case of insufficient air pressure, the valve connector 70 can be connected with the high-pressure air steel cylinder to inflate the tire. The chain breaker tool 80 enables a user to adjust and repair the chain of the bicycle. In case of damage of the chain, the second outer cover 112 can be opened to take out the two chain connectors 100 from the second chamber 26 to replace the damaged parts.
In case that the tire of the bicycle is punctured, the foldable tool kit 10 of the present invention can be used to repair the tire. A user can remove the first outer cover 100 to take out a tire reparation member 90, that is, the tire reparation strip. Then, the tire reparation strip 90 is chucked by the chuck section 34 of the chuck 30 and inserted into the puncture of the tire. Then, the blade 50 is used to cut off the residual part of the tire reparation strip that protrudes from the tire face. Finally, the grinding section 44 of the grinding tool 40 is used to grind the cut off tire reparation strip 90 so as to make the tire reparation strip 90 flush with the surface of the repaired tire. Accordingly, the tire reparation process is completed. Thereafter, the tire is inflated with the high-pressure air steel cylinder and the valve connector 70 to enable the user to ride the bicycle again.
Please now refer to FIG. 10, which is a side view of a second embodiment of the foldable tool kit 10′ of the present invention, showing that the first chamber 25 of the first side board 21 is not covered by the first outer cover. The structure of the second embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment and the same components are denoted with the same reference numerals. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the tire reparation members 90′ are two tire reparation patches received in the first chamber 25. In use, the two tire reparation patches are taken out from the first chamber. The tire is repaired in such a manner that the punctured section of the inner tire is ground by the grinding section 44 of the grinding tool 40. Then the two tire reparation patches 90′ are adhered to the punctured section. In this embodiment, the two tire reparation patches themselves have adhesion so that it is unnecessary to additionally paint adhesive onto the two tire reparation patches for adhering the two tire reparation patches on the inner tire. The two tire reparation patches 90′ are applicable to the bicycle tire with an inner tire. The tire reparation strips 90 of the first embodiment are applicable to the bicycle tire without inner tire. Accordingly, no matter whether the bicycle tire has an inner tire or not, the tool kit 10 of the present invention can be used to repair the tire and thus greatly benefit the bicycle rider.
The foldable tool kit of the present invention has the reparation and use function of the conventional tool kit. In addition, the foldable tool kit of the present invention collectively includes all the tire reparation tools and articles. Accordingly, when a bicycle rider rides a bicycle and encounters the problem of tire puncture and needs to repair the tire, the bicycle rider himself/herself can fully repair and service the tire of the bicycle. Therefore, although the foldable tool kit of the present invention is tiny, it includes all the necessary reparation tools for the bicycle. The diversity, convenience and utility of the foldable tool kit 10 of the present invention are enhanced.
The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
